Coupon wizards...help me make the most of this deal!

[sksjasams]

I need some help to decide the best way to use these coupons for the most savings.

Walgreens has Schick Xtreme3 4-packs of razors on sale for $5.99 with a $2 register rewards for next purchase. I have one newspaper coupon for $1 off, I have one newspaper coupon for Buy 1 Get 1 Free, and I have two manufacturers $3 off coupons from facebook.

Can you please tell me the best number of packs to purchase, and the best order to use the coupons and register rewards?

Thanks so much for your help!!

Here you can ONLY do the deal once so I would pick the best coupon. For me I would go for the BOGOF to get the most product. I dont push the rules/limits

If you have a Giant or Stop and Shop near you there's an even better deal - the Schick disposables (for men and women) are BOGO this week - combine it with the BOGO coupon that came out recently and you can score free razors. I was able to get a total of 6 packages of free razors this way - the locusts had already been to my store so I didn't have much to choose from and had to hit 2 stores to get the 6 that I did get. Not every store will allow a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale, but I had no problem.

We don't have either of those stores here. I think my best bet is Walgreens.

Anyone have the best strategy for Walgreens?

Thank you!

I don't do much Wags shopping so I can't remember. Can you use a BOGO mq AND a $ off mq together??? If so then:

purchase 2 razors $5.99 each
Use: BOGO mq
$3 off mq
Total: $2.99 for 2 packs
Receive $2 RRs

OR

purchase 1 razor $5.99
Use: $3 MQ
Total: $2.99
Receive: $2 RRs
Then do that transaction again.

Your RRs can not be "rolled" as in you can not use those RRs to purchase more razors (usually). If you can (read the fine print), then you will not be able to qet another RR for the next purchase, nor will you be able to "stack" it with another since their RRs ring up as MQs.

Clear as mud?

Unless the rules have changed, up until a few months ago all of our local WG's were letting customers do it this way;

Purchase (2) razors $5.99 each
Use: (1) BOGO mq
(2) $3 off mq
Total: $0 for 2 packs
Receive $2 RRs

However, you'll only get 1 RR printout at the end of the transaction for $2, not 2...since the RR policy is one per transaction.

Also, that's a total of 2 items and 3 coupons and your total number of coupons cannot exceed your items, so you need to get another item to compensate.

Actually this helps a lot Thank you.

I was thinking I would be able to use the RR from the first purchase on the second, but that won't work. You can't use more than one coupon and/or RR per item, and can't have more coupons than items.

See here you can't use 3 coupons (all razor coupons) for 2 items unless one is a store coupon and 1 is a man coupon. Plus here if you use a BOGOF coupon that counts/covers for 2 items and you can not use another coupon with the 2 items.

OP here...

This is what I ended up doing:

2 packs of razors
used buy 1 get 1 coupon
used $3 off coupon
got 1 $2 RR

1 pack razors
used $3 off coupon
got 1 $2 RR

1 pack razors
used $1 off coupon
got 1 $2 RR

So, I ended up with 4 packs of razors for the sale price of 1. Pretty good I think. Thanks again for all your help!!
